Riven X r133 “Core Media Release”

So, when attempting to start Riven X, it throws this message (twice!) before quitting / crashing. Any ideas about what I can do to stop this?

Does this mean you need to drag the files from the dvd to the HD? (can’t use classic for installation, because of intel)

Thanks, that fixed it.

I’m glad to hear of your progress. Support for the CD version of Riven (in the future, of course) would be much appreciated!

When will Riven X be avaliable as a public beta?

So currently it isn’t possible to use riven x if you have the cd version of riven?

Hey, Great job by the way, this is an awesome project for one of my all time favorite games and I can’t wait for it to be finished. In the meantime however, has anyone else run into this error? Here are the contents from the console:

So no problems finding the disc or files, but rather something to do with the renderer or the graphics driver?
I’m running it on a new MacBook (black, woohoo!) pretty much fresh out of the box.

PS: Should I also maybe submit this in as a new bug report ticket?

Now, is this for intel macs only, or will you be supporting old Powermac G4’s with CD versions?

How do you install this? I would love to report bugs AND get to play riven again.

I can’t seem to find Extras.MHK on my CD version…

Sorry For double post,
I do have two folders on my first disc called Assets 1 and Assets 2.

I have a five-disc version of Riven from Ubi/Cyan for Mac AND Windows.

The only files I have on disc 2 are:
-Autorun.inf
-Data (Folder)
-Desktop DB
-Desktop DF
-Desktop Folder
-DesktopPrinters DB
-Icon
-OpenFolderListDF
-riven.cfg
-Setup (Folder)
-Temporary Items (Folder)
-Trash (Folder)
-Virex SpeedScan

I can list the files inside the folders if you want me to.

Crap… do you know of any way to expand or unzip that installer without using os 9?

Thanks a bunch if you can see my email maybe we can continue it from there…

Anything?

ah, thanks

I just used Riveal to extract all of the files off of my first riven cd. But nothing is labeled as Extras.mhk Can you use Riveal to extract files off of extras.mhk and tell me what it lists?

Hey! Merry (almost) christmas!

Any luck?

Hey! I just got a DVD rom… trying to get it to work now

Ok, so I just get a black screen when I start it up. I have the Extras.MHK and the Data folder in the same folder as RivenX. Is it playable yet, or just a card loader? If it is playable, that would be cool, because I actually have the entire series now.
Thanks Much!
-DJS

Please keep OS-X-specific code and platform-independent code nicely separated, I’d love to have Riven-Linux!!!

Don’t know if you’re still working on this, but I can’t get it to display anything other than a black screen. I have Extras.MHK in the same folder as Riven X as long with a fully-populated Data folder.

Console says this:
Stack creation failed: RXArchiveManager doesn’t handle media swapping yet

Any ideas?

I’m very excited a new binary build will be available soon. I have an intel mac and keep getting the following:

Even when I set it myself to 640×480 and thousands of colours I still get:

Is there something else I can do to get it to work or should I wait until the new binary?

Sincerely,
Regan

(I’m so glad you are working on this project!!!!!!!!!! Myst II is the only Myst game I have not played and I’m dying to try it!)

I have downloaded Riven X but cannot get it to open. It just does nothing. I have located it in my Riven file with Extras.MHK but nothing. HELP!
Thanks
Suzanne

Good news: I have the Extras.MHK, Riven X, and Data folder (the folder that has all the data files from all five CDs) all in the same folder. Bad news is that when I run Riven X, I just get a black screen. I think that others have had a similar problem. Have anyone else had any luck getting past this? I know that this is a Dev build, but it hasn’t had any new progress since last year (Aug 2006). I have a MacBook Pro, 2.4Ghz, 2 GB RAM, MacOS 10.4.11.

I miss my Riven!

I downloaded rev 211 sources and compiled succesfully (on an intel MacBook, so it looks like ticket 14 is sorted), but I’m having trouble finding out what I should be able to do! That is; the game doesn’t work, of course, but I don’t know how much of it is just the state of play, and how much is little tweaks I might be missing…

Specifically:

1. I can’t bypass any of the introduction, so it takes several minutes to start every time.

2. The cursor doesn’t change over hotspots.

3. The doors to the room on the left as you go up the stairs look open when they are really closed, and vice versa, but not consistently.

4. Moving too fast crashes the game, and sometimes blocking movies seem to also, as do any number of things I haven’t sussed out yet I don’t think I’ve managed to get more than 20 or 30 clicks into the game without it crashing yet.

5. er…

6. That’s it, I think.

I’m so pleased with the project - it looks and sounds great and I’m very grateful for all your hard work! If you’d like any terminal output or console messages or anything, do let me know.

Are any of these issues things I can resolve quickly and easily myself?

Thanks

Hey, great job on the update so far. I just loaded up the original cd-rom version, and while it works for about five minutes or so after I start the game, the program suddenly crashes for no apparent reason. I’m not too tech-savvy, but I’m playin on a Mac OS X and any help would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Oh, yeah. One more thing. I can’t save my game either, that’s a bummer. Thanks again.

Hey im having the same problems that daniel did, i have the cd-rom version of riven from the myst trilogy box set, but it doesnt work on my intel macbook pro, because i cant find the extras.mhk file. is there a way to download it from the internet or a way to get around it, or will i have to buy a dvd version of riven now?

thanks
